The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken a significant step in its ongoing fight against financial crime by arresting Tunde Ayeni, businessman and former chairman of the now-defunct Skye Bank Plc.
Ayeni was reportedly apprehended in Abuja and is currently in EFCC custody as authorities continue their investigations into allegations of a multi-billion naira fraud.
The EFCC is investigating the alleged diversion and misappropriation of funds estimated at N36.5 billion and $30 million.
The amount is said to have been obtained from Polaris Bank Plc through companies linked to him.
